Young is a distraction with all that Iggy Azalea nonsense going on. If you thought Parsons was bad, then you'll be in for a treat.
Kj has to agree to get sign and traded to philly. Considering what his mom was posting about the 6ers and how hinkie traded him so fast i dont think he ever would. The max he will get anyway is the full mle and there will be at least one team offering it.
I don't think Woj and them really know as much as we think. The stories recently were that Beverley was in advanced talks with the Kings and the Knicks were making a strong push to get him. Then all of a sudden Beverley signs with Houston. There wasn't any talk to Houston offering anything. In fact, the story was basically that the Rockets weren't even really talking to Bev or Brewer yet. Then Beverley also said the Mavs were the team throwing big money around. Nobody even mentioned the Mavs. Same with Brewer. None of the writers had any idea Brewer was getting close to a deal with Houston. Seems like the Rockets have been keeping a tight lid on what they are doing.
Hinkie lowballed and said if you want such deals bring me an offersheet to match. They did. He matched. Woj is the most reliable.
Ken Berger @KBergCBS The Spurs, Suns and Blazers have separated themselves in the chase for LaMarcus Aldridge, two people directly involved tell @CBSSports.
Please Bosh the Spurs, Aldridge. That would leave the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Thunder as the only real obstacles in the West for the Rockets.
Reflecting on what has happened today, Morey really set us up well. If LMA decided to go elsewhere, we trade Jones and assets to land a quality point guard. Lineup would be: Point Guard Upgrade (Lawson/Collison/etc) - Bev - Terry Harden - Brewer -Johnson Ariza - Dekker Dmo - Smith - Harrell Howard - Capela Solid. A team that won't be the clear cut favorites but will compete for the championship, no doubt. But if LMA decided he wants to come here and we use Jones and/or Dmo and other assets (Johnson, KJ, Harrel, etc) to flactate a sign dn trade. Sign a back up point to a cheap contract and Smith to the MLE. Lineup would be: Bev - Back Up - Terry on vet min Harden - Brewer Ariza - Dekker LMA - Smith Howard - Capela That's a sick lineup! Definitely compete with GSW for best team in league.
